I came across this on RAWK and thought we should have our own. Mods it would great if you sticky this and I'll try and update it every game.
Basically it works on the theory that to win the title you need 90 points and around 72 points to get top four. Its also a great way of actually gauging how well you're doing in relation to your rivals
The graph will show a par score of 0, which is 90. The par score is achieved by winning all your home game and the easiest 7 away games(the bottom 7 from last year; QPR, Burnley, Leicester, Sunderland, Aston Villa, West Brom and Hull) whilst drawing the remaining 12 away games. That adds up to 90 points.
Now if you plot these results and do it for every team, it should give a better representation of where we are in relation to other teams. So, this is the table at the moment for premier league top 8(last season):
Gameweek 8
Now clearly we aren't in the title race(though it looks like Southampton are), so here is a graph showing where is team is in relation to their target
Here is a previous graph showing how it worked over the course of a season:
Taken from Rawk, credit goes to Prof
Here is the fixture list and the bold games are home. All games shaded blue have a 3 point par score and the rest are 1 point par score.
Also @SpursManChris if you have any questions please direct them to Prof on Rawk

A slight more in-depth explanation said:So looking at how you get the score this season we started with these fixtures and the par score
West Ham H - To achieve Par we need 1 point(and zero on the graph)
QPR H - To achieve Par we need 3 points
Liverpool H - To achieve Par we need 3 points
Sunderland A - To achieve Par we need 3 points, they were one of the bottom 7 last season
So to achieve Par(0 on the graph) we need to get 10 points from those fixtures
We got these results
West Ham - 3 points - so that is +2
QPR - 3 points - still +2 overall after matching par the points score
Liverpool - 0 points - now -1 below par since it was a home game and we got 3 points less than par
Sunderland - 1 points - now -3 points as we dropped 2 points against one of the bottom 7
So now our score is -3 to our projected par score of 90. So we would get 87 points if we matched par for the rest of the season.
Warning: unlike golf the rawk graphs list beating par as +2 as opposed to minus number(-2), which golf uses to show the best scores
Here is the fixture list and the bold games are home. All games shaded blue have a 3 point par score and the rest are 1 point par score.
